Well i'm seeing visable growth on the remaining few SPS frags. Porites is encrusting to its plug nicely, the tenius is trying to regain its purple color, but thats gonna be a slow process. I fragged my blue mille small colony when it started to go, and for about the last 7-8 days the last remaining frag has stopped RTNing and left me a tiny tiny piece!! I'm pretty happy about that. I also have a tiny 1/4" piece of orange digi that has made it thru the mess. So looks like i might finally be over that hump. Candycane is going to pull thru as well as my acan. I lost the echino though

Updates from this old thread?

I obviously came across it researching what other's have experienced with a T5 switch and coloration issues (mine is mostly a "pale" green cap)

Thanks!

Just switch from 500 watt mh to 432 watt and I got 220 par at the bottom of a 31 deep tank and my light is sitiing 6 in above the tank. I got 100+ with mh. I learn my lesson after burning 5 diff sps and one big colony of sps.
